I keep dreaming I find a metallurgist/alchemist to fix this. Image: 1855obv.jpg 66.93 KB Image: 1855rev.jpg 65.94 KB Report this Post to the Staff

halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 02/26/2008 06:54 am I'll say $75-100. It's nice to have dreams, mine passed on long ago. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 02/26/2008 11:11 am Thanks, half....remember, "Ruby Tuesday" (Rolling Stones)...."...lose your dreams and you will lose your mind..." My benchmarks change...I wanted to be a rock star (still trying, really secretly). Then, after going through 28 rolls of machine-rolled, BU 1972 cents and not finding ONE single variety or error, my new dreamsession is to find error and variety coins in coffee shop tip cups. You should see the look when I ask if I can buy their tips. You see; I'm an OG (Old Guy)...51 years old....and me dad, he said, when he was 87, "Jim, u aint old and the first 100 years are practice anyway....relax." Report this Post to the Staff

A bit too much glare, but from what I see, it's AU details, harshly cleaned, and countermarked twice. Report this Post to the Staff
MorganNoob Pillar of the Community United States 533 Posts	Posted 02/29/2008 12:33 pm quote: I keep dreaming I find a metallurgist/alchemist to fix this Do you mean the loop that is soldered on the top? If so I bet that it could be fixed rather easily. Gold has a fairly high melting point, a small propane torch would melt that solder way before it did any damage to the coin... And honestly, its not like you can devalue the coin much more then it already is... Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 03/01/2008 07:01 am I thought about that, Morgan -- paying to have the loop removed. I wondered, if after paying that expense, what the cost-efficiency value of the coin would be afterwards. Also, I dont know if that's solder or not. Report this Post to the Staff
